2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Recalls (14)

Campaign:
08V181000 on 04/21/2008
Component:
Seat belts:rear
Manufactured:
05/30/2007 - 03/06/2008
Affected:
90,189
Defect:
Toyota is recalling 90,189 my 2008 highlander and highlander hybrid passenger vehicles equipped with a third row seat. these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." the non-driver designated seating positions (dsp) on these vehicles is equipped with seat belt assemblies that have a feature that converts the retractor from an emergency locking retractor (elr) to an automatic locking retractor (alr). the belts convert to the alr mode after the webbing has been fully withdrawn from the retractor. the system is designed so that as the belt is released into the retractor, the system remains in the alr mode so that a child restraint system (crs) can be tightly secured.
Consequence:
However, for the two third row dsp's on these vehicles, the alr mode deactivates before the webbing is fully retracted, so that it will not lock when certain rear-facing crs's that have a short seat belt routing path are installed in the vehicle. this can allow the seat belt webbing to spool out during normal driving maneuvers, which could affect the stability of a child restraint installed at those seating positions. as such, this could discourage the use of a child restraint and in the event of a crash, the child may not be adequately protected possibly resulting in injury.
Correction:
Dealers will install a newly designed seat belt component free of charge. the recall is expected to begin on or about december 18, 2008. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Notes:
Toyota recall no. 80d.customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Component:
Equipment
Affected:
39,100
Defect:
Toyota is recalling 39,100 stainless steel exhaust tips sold by toyota as an optional accessory for use on my 2008 highlander and highlander hybrid vehicles. due to improper heat treatment during the manufacturing process, the original clamp used to secure the toyota stainless steel exhaust tip to the exhaust pipe may develop microscopic cracks. eventually the crack may expand causing the clamp to break.
Consequence:
The original clamp and the toyota stainless steel exhaust tip may fall off the vehicle's exhaust pipe and become a road hazard which would increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Toyota will notify owners and replace the clamp free of charge. the safety recall began on may 4, 2009. owners may contact toyota customer experience center at 1 888-270-9371 monday through friday, 5:00 am to 6:00 pm, saturday 7:00 am through 4:00 pm pacific time.

Component:
Equipment:other:labels
Manufactured:
08/31/2005 - 05/03/2009
Affected:
27,080
Defect:
Toyota is recalling 27,080 model year 2005 through 2010 passenger cars built from september 1, 2005 to may 4, 2009. these vehicles were not equipped with load carrying capacity modification labels which fails to conform with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims."
Consequence:
Incorrect load carrying capacity modification labels could result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Toyota will notify owners and provide them with a new, accurate label to be installed over the inaccurate label free of charge. the safety recall began on august 18, 2009. owners may contact toyota at 1-888-270-9371.

Campaign:
10V023000 on 01/27/2010
Component:
Vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal
Affected:
1,126,915
Defect:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 highlander, model year 2009-2010 corolla, venza and matrix passenger vehicles. the accelerator pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat. this recall is an expansion of a campaign of 3.8 million other toyota vehicles announced in 2009 for the same issue (see 09v-388).
Consequence:
A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Correction:
Toyota will modify or replace the accelerator pedals on the subject vehicles. floor surface modifications are also being considered and will be included for any model for which it is deemed appropriate. initially, dealers will be instructed on how to reshape the accelerator pedal for the repair. as replacement parts with the same shape as the modified pedal become available, they will be made available to the dealers for the repair. customers who have had the pedal reshape remedy completed will have the opportunity to receive a new pedal if they desire, after replacement pedals become available. in addition, toyota will replace any toyota all-weather floor mat in a subject vehicle with a newly designed mat, free of charge. for those customers who have the previous design all-weather floor mat but do not need or want the newly designed all-weather floor mat, toyota will recover the previous design all-weather floor mat and reimburse its price. the safety recall began march 30, 2010. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Component:
Air bags
Manufactured:
05/24/2007 - 01/30/2008
Affected:
307,848
Defect:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 highlander, highlander hybrid, and model year 2007-2008 rav4 vehicles. in the curtain shield airbag (csa) system, there are two sensors in the airbag sensor assembly which are designed to detect vehicle roll angle. if one of these sensors malfunctions, the airbag warning light (malfunction indicator light: mil) will illuminate and the roll detection system will be suspended; however, the airbag csa remains available in the event of a side crash. if both sensors fail nearly simultaneously after initial airbag system check, the csa and the seat belt pretensioner could be inadvertently activated.
Consequence:
Inadvertent activation of the csa and/or the seat belt pretensioner can cause injury to a vehicle occupant.
Correction:
Toyota will replace the airbag sensor assembly with a new one containing improved roll rate sensors, free of charge. toyota intends to send an interim owner notification to owners early to mid-may, 2011 when sufficient parts and remedy becomes available. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Component:
Visibility:power window devices and controls
Manufactured:
05/24/2007 - 07/30/2008
Affected:
2,519,424
Defect:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 camry, camry hybrid, rav4, corolla, corolla matrix, tundra, sequoia, highlander, highlander hybrid, yaris, scion xb, scion xd and pontiac vibe vehicles. the power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.
Consequence:
If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Correction:
Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge. toyota owners that experience a problem with a switch should not attempt to make repairs, but should contact their toyota dealer or the toyota customer experience center at 1-800-331-4331. general motors will contact the pontiac vibe owners affected by this recall and gm dealers will inspect and repair switches as necessary. those owners may contact pontiac customer care at 1-800-762-2737.

Affected:
1,486,413
Defect:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 rav4, 2006-2010 yaris, 2008-2010 highlander, and 2009-2010 tacoma, corolla, corolla matrix and general motors pontiac vibe vehicles. in the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a flexible flat cable (ffc). due to the shape and location of the ffc's retainer, the ffc could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
Consequence:
If the ffc is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. the failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Correction:
Toyota will notify the toyota vehicle owners, and general motors will notify the pontiac vibe owners. toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in may 2014 to advise owners of the recall. toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. general motors sent pontiac vibe owners an interim letter on june 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. general motors sent notices to the pontiac vibe owners on september 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. the recall began on october 27, 2014. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331. owners may contact general motors at 1-800-762-2737.
